CINCINNATI — A Dublin lawyer charged with helping to launder $133,000 as part of alleged illegal
activity at an Ohio pain-medication clinic pleaded not guilty in federal court in Cincinnati.

Attorney Steven Hillman also waived his right to a lawyer yesterday and told a judge he will
represent himself.

The charges against Hillman are part of a 2012 indictment against eight people that alleged
dozens of customers a week would travel hundreds of miles to visit clinics in southern and central
Ohio and pay $200 per visit for painkillers.

The indictment said prescriptions were written without meaningful physical exams and
contributed to the deaths of at least two patients.
